|
|
|
|
For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
|
|
including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
|
|
following sections, please visit <URL:http://security.FreeBSD.org/>.
|
|
|
|
I. Background
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD is binary-compatible with the Linux operating system through a
|
|
loadable kernel module/optional kernel component. The support is
|
|
provided on amd64 and i386 machines.
|
|
|
|
II. Problem Description
|
|
|
|
A programming error in the handling of Linux futex robust lists may result
|
|
in incorrect memory locations being accessed.
|
|
|
|
III. Impact
|
|
|
|
It is possible for a local attacker to read portions of kernel memory, which
|
|
may result in a privilege escalation.
|
|
|
|
IV. Workaround
|
|
|
|
No workaround is available, but systems not using the Linux binary
|
|
compatibility layer are not vulnerable.
|
|
|
|
The following command can be used to test if the Linux binary
|
|
compatibility layer is loaded:
|
|
|
|
# kldstat -m linuxelf
|
|
|
|
V. Solution
|
|
|
|
Perform one of the following:
|
|
|
|
1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or
|
|
release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date.
|
|
|
|
Reboot the system or unload and reload the linux.ko kernel module.
|
|
|
|
2) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch:
|
|
|
|
Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64
|
|
platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility:
|
|
|
|
# freebsd-update fetch
|
|
# freebsd-update install
|
|
|
|
Reboot the system or unload and reload the linux.ko kernel module.
|
|
|
|
2) To update your vulnerable system via a source code patch:
|
|
|
|
The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable
|
|
FreeBSD release branches.
|
|
|
|
a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
|
|
detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.
|
|
|
|
# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-16:03/linux.patch
|
|
# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-16:03/linux.patch.asc
|
|
|
|
b) Apply the patch.
|
|
|
|
# cd /usr/src
|
|
# patch < /path/to/patch
|
|
# cd /usr/src/amd64/linux32
|
|
# make sysent
|
|
# cd /usr/src/i386/linux
|
|
# make sysent
|
|
|
|
c) Recompile your kernel and modules as described in
|
|
<URL:http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html>.
|
|
|
|
Reboot the system or unload and reload the linux.ko kernel module.
